According to the press service of the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan, on November 8, the embassy handed over 10 army SUVs of the “Jeep” brand to the National Guard of Tajikistan to ensure the security of Tajikistan’s borders.
The U.S. Ambassador to Tajikistan John Mark Pommerheim and the commander of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Bobodjon Jamolzoda, participated in the ceremony of transferring the vehicles.
The vehicles, valued at $858,800, along with spare parts packages and a workshop, were handed over to the National Guard. Training for personnel on maintenance was also conducted.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Pommerheim thanked Tajikistan for its close cooperation in border security.
“We remain partners in the fight against terrorism, drug trafficking, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. We are stronger when we work together,” the ambassador noted.
Earlier, in October 2021, the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan transferred 20 SUVs of the “Jeep” brand to the Ministry of Defense of the country to strengthen the borders.
Since 1992, the United States has provided Tajikistan with security assistance totaling over $330 million. The U.S. has also trained more than 10,000 military personnel and law enforcement officers.
Over the past 30 years, the U.S. has provided Tajikistan with assistance amounting to $1.8 billion.
